Fatigue in people with Parkinson's Disease: the effects of exercise
… there are no effective methods for the treatment of fatigue in people with Parkinson’s disease. The intervention study (n=105; intervention group: n=54; control group: n=51) comprised three parts. In the first part different measures of fatigue were explored in relation to activity levels and …

Effects of Exercise Therapy on Functional Connectivity in Parkinson's Disease
Forced-rate lower-extremity exercise has recently emerged as a potential safe and low-cost therapy for Parkinson's Disease (PD). The efficacy is believed to be dependent on high rates of exercise. In this study, we use functional connectivity (FC) MRI to further elucidate the mechanism underlying …

Translational studies into the effects of exercise on estimated bone strength
Mechanical loading associated with exercise is known to benefit bone health; however, most studies explore exercise benefits on bone mass independent of bone structure and strength. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the response of the skeleton to exercise across the translational …

The effects of exercise on iron metabolism in adult female rats
The effects of exercise training and iron intake on iron metabolism in adult female rats were investigated. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to either an exercise (E) or sedentary (S) group and fed either a diet containing 9 ppm (9) of dietary iron (low iron level), or 40 ppm (40) of …

The effects of exercise on alcohol consumption and depression in DUI probationers
… subjects were placed in treatment programs. An exercise program was incorporated in a VASAP treatment program to investigate the reduction in alcohol drinking frequency and quantity by implementing a weekly questionnaire as a repeated measure in an experimental vs. a control group design. Within …

The Potential Effects of Exercise-Induced Cortisol Release on Executive Functioning in Preadolescents
… Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (MAE) has been shown to elicit improvements in cognition and subsequent academic performance among preadolescents. Aerobic exercise has also shown to increase cortisol release in response to increasing exercise intensity. However, it is …

Adrenergic Mobilization of the Immune System and the Anti-Cancer Effects of Exercise
A single bout of exercise has a profound effect on the number and composition of immune cells within the circulation. Within this response, there exists a preferential mobilization of effector lymphocytes with cytotoxic potential, and evidence exists for an anti-tumor effect of exercise dependent …

The Effects of Exercise and Dietary Protein on Leucine Oxidation in Laboratory Rats
Oxidation of the essential branched-chain amino acid, leucine (leu), increases in response to exercise. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effects of exercise and dietary protein on leu metabolism by measuring in vivo leu oxidation (leu ox) and in vitro branched-chain alpha-keto acid …
